| New poster for Steven Seagal’s actioner ‘Perfect Weapon’ Posted: 13 May 2016 12:52 AM PDT  "Perfect Weapon" Japanese Theatrical Poster A Steven Seagal actioner titled The Perfect Weapon will be released later this year. Despite its name, this upcoming movie has no connection with 1991′s The Perfect Weapon, which starred Jeff Speakman. The first trailer for The Perfect Weapon hints an influence from both Universal Soldier and Hitman: Agent 47. Even though the words “Steven Seagal” headline the film’s marketing materials, the Above the Law star appears to have more of a co-starring role – as the film’s villain – second to Johnny Messner (Kill ‘Em All). Perfect Weapon is directed by Titus Paar (The Refugees) and produced by Andre Relis (War Pigs) and Rafael Primorac (Wesley Snipes’ Game of Death). The film also stars Sasha Jackson (Jarhead 3), Richard Tyson (Simon Says), Vernon Wells (Commando), Kimberly Battista (Hot Summer Nights) and Lance E. Nichols (13 Sins). Official Plot: In a not too distant future, a totalitarian state run by ‘The Director” (Seagal) controls all aspects of life. All enemies of the state are dealt in the harshest way. Most of them are executed by the secret government’s assassins. The best operative is code-named “Condor” (Messner) – an elite agent and hit man for the government. However, in his latest assignment, “Condor” fails to kill an opposition leader, and finds himself on the run from the very same government agency that he works for. This sets in motion a chain of events with unforseen consequences for all involved. But “Condor” just might survive the hunt because he is… The Perfect Weapon. Perfect Weapon is just one project in a list of upcoming titles with Seagal’s name attached. Others include Contract to Kill, Code of Honor, Under Siege 3, Cypher, The Asian Connection, End of a Gun, Killing Salazar, Four Towers, China Salesman., as well as Seagal’s next directorial feature, Attrition. A release date for Perfect Weapon is still pending. Stay tuned. Updates: Check out the film’s new Japanese poster. |

| Amy Johnston and ‘The Raid’ stars enter ‘The Gate’! Posted: 06 May 2016 12:00 AM PDT  "The Raid 2: Berandal" Poster Kathryn Bigelow… move over! Kellie Madison (The Tank) is directing and producing a teaser pitch for a TV series called The Gate, a supernatural saga chronicling the epic battle between good and evil starring Amy Johnston (Lady Bloodsport), Yayan Ruhian (The Raid and The Raid 2), EMC Monkeys (stunt team), Malay Choeung Kim (Die Fighting) and Xin Sarith Wuku (Death Mist). Madison has crafted a compelling tale of an angel that comes into her power to battle against the forces of darkness. Madison has an arsenal of credits that speak powerfully to her mastery of the craft, including Project Imagination’s The Caul and Open Road Films’ The Tank. “We have assembled a world-class team dedicated to the success of this series,” says Madison. Madison’s team includes Amy Johnston (Unlucky Stars), a professional martial artist who was a prominent stunt performer in Captain America: The Winter Soldier; George Billinger, Director of Photography/Camera Operator well known for his stunning work in War of the Worlds, Terminator and many other blockbusters; and last but not least, the amazing Indonesian martial artists, Yayan Ruhian (The Raid) and Cecep Arif Rahman (The Raid 2). Updates: You can now watch the action packed short film for The Gate here. Fingers are crossed that this will be developed into a series or possibly even a feature film. |
